Dan,

  - It could be that you encountered (or "discovered") a kernel BUG
with the locking mechansim of bridge devices.

  - What I would suggest is the following:

  - First, If you can give more details  (kernel version / disto) it would help.

  - Second, if you can post this mailing list the scripts you are
running (for adding/deleting the tun device) and describe
the environment (how you exactly start and configure the tun devices,
etc). that cause this crash it will really help.

I, for one , will happily try to test it on two Linux machines to see
if it crash , and I believe that there will be others.

Regards,
DS
